In Central African Republic Windows Has Pretty Much Fallen to Zero
Earlier today we mentioned African trends and South African (long colonised by Microsoft) statistics.
We showed that Windows was a dying breed, "so this should frighten Microsoft."
And "why should it?" asked someone, "or more appropriately, why look at that from Microsoft's perspective?"
Well, last month I got second-hand accounts of people at Microsoft panicking and suffering anxiety, especially managers (they knew better what had gone on). Since then Microsoft has had at least 3 waves of layoffs and days ago Skype got shot at the back of the neck?
The morale is very well.
That's not even the end of that! Wondering why Outlook and Office 360 go offline so often? There's more to it than blaming "attackers"; Microsoft has been attacking its own staff and it shows.
The reader said we can "instead take it from the angle that we all benefit from the change."
Well, that is true, except Microsoft losing might mean Apple gaining and even in case of Android gaining (the normal) there is work to be done. Sure, sure... Android has Linux in it, but many of its users are herded into censored "stores" with Social Control Media and even worse stuff. We need to focus on Software Freedom; in the next couple of years we'll also focus a lot on free press, not just because Microsofters have been ever so eager to censor us [1, 2, 3]. █
